NFL Week 6

Damn it...Winslow was in the hospital for a second night...his balls are still swollen...seriously that is his illness!

1* St. Louis +13.5 over Washington
Cardinal rule number 4: go against the media. The media has crowned Washington as the best team since the '64 Browns and St. Louis as the worst team ever. I do think Washington is an above average team and the Rams are not good, but Washington is coming off two HUGE wins as road dogs versus Dallas and Philly and the Rams apply to a 25-3 ATS trend that has been money throughout the years. Washington's offense is only slightly better than average. They score 22 PPG, but their opponents have allow a combined 21 PPG. Washington is averaging 4.3 YPR (12th) and 7 YPPA (16th). Defensively they allow 3.6 YPR (14th) and 6.5 YPPA (10th). St. Louis' stats aren't pretty. They gain 4 YPR (16th) and 6.2 YPPA (24th). Defensively they allow 4.8 YPR and 9.2 YPPA. A big reason for the Rams demise and the Skins success is turnover ratio; Washington is +6 and the Rams are -3. Winless teams play good after their bye and the Skins are in a let down position. Don't be afraid…take the Rams as a 1*.

Just so tough to take the rams, question Rocco, I know your up on the niners and I'm a big fan. I won't get sucked in to taking them again but what do you think our chances are tomorrow?

2-2 heading into tonight. Adding Cleveland.

1* Cleveland +8 over N.Y. Giants
The Brownies are in a perfect situation for an upset in this game! They are coming off a bye and are a Monday night home dog. The Browns have looked half asleep on the field, but if you can't get up for a Monday night game you are gutless. The Giants are 4-0 and are one of the top teams in the league, but as I've said many times before the better team does not always win/cover. The Giants average 5.8 YPR (1st) and 7.8 YPPA (8th). I still don't have confidence in Eli. The media has terrible short term memory loss. It was less than a year ago that Eli was "the worst QB in the league" after he threw 4 picks versus Minnesota. Now they are talking about how he is better than Peyton (yeah right). The Giants have played one of the easiest schedules in the league; they have faced Washington (this was week 1 when the Skins weren't nearly as good as they are now), Cinci, St. Louis, and Seattle.
The Browns haven't had the explosive offense they had last year, but I think it's only a matter of time that they get back to business. Cleveland is averaging 3.5 YPR (28th) and only 4.6 YPPA. Stallworth is likely to return this week so D. Anderson will have another option. Defensively, the Browns are allowing 19.5 PPG, but they have played one of the toughest schedules in the league (played Balt, Pitt, and Dallas) and these teams have combined to average 21 PPG. Their run D is average allowing 4.1 YPR (16th) and their pass D allows 7.4 YPPA (23rd). There are 6 strong trends favoring the Browns including a great 43-17 ATS Monday night trend going against the Giants because of their big win last week. I think the Cleveland Clowns return to the Cleveland Browns this week.
